Oh, I didn't realize that, thanks. When catching NotLoggedInException in exceptions.xml, I have a <redirect view-id="/login.xhtml">Not logged in</redirect> for the NotLoggedInException. While the redirect works correctly, the message "Not logged in" doesn't display in login.xhtml's <h:messages globalOnly="true" /> Why won't this message appear? My next question is how can the exception object be accessed from within a page? I looked up the Seam documentation under the Seam pre-installed components but nothing related to exceptions comes up...I'm thinking of some kind of #{exception.stackTrace} or something...
